- A normal cells
- B infected host cells
- C macrophages
- D B lymphocytes
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) infected host cells
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) infected host cells,
Interferons are protein molecules produced by virus-infected host cells. They help in the defense against viral infections by signaling neighboring cells to enhance their antiviral defenses. While normal cells can produce other proteins, interferons specifically come from infected cells.
